Despite all the talk on the price, what I'm hoping to see is a radio trigger embedded for Canon's new flash system, and just a better sensor than the 5D2.
Either way, with a better AF system, I'm going to seriously consider this camera. My 5D2 has served me quite well so far.

The previous 20+ pages summed up:

"$3500?! INCONCEIVABLE!" - 23%
"Blah blah look at how much I make as a photographer, check me out dooods" - 17%
wild, pointless speculation on other features - 8%
"But the Nikon blahblah is sexier/cheaper/makes me coffee" - 18%
"I want a second hand MK2 / 7D for cheap / free" - 20%

Actual interest and discussion on awesome new features - 13%

YOU'RE WELCOME, INTERNET.

22 megapixels?

I don't buy it.

Talk of a high-megapixel D800 killer aside, why would Canon ever make two different kinds of full frame sensors? They never did in the past.

not sure if this has been brought up, and don't quite have the time to read the 10 pages of replies to this thread that came after i went to sleep last night, but...

The new speedlight is supposed to be moving from IR to radio control - any chance this new 5d might have in camera radio for control of off camera flashes? That could be quite useful!!

Speaking of the past..... nobody anticipate the release of 5D back in 2005. the company strategy can change, .radically influenced by the market.

PS 5DMK2 was the best seller upper lvl camera that canon ever had.

I am more than happy if all these specs pan out. And I wouldn't say that there is no high MP chance...As Canon officials were talking about recently...you'll never know what next spring or fall has in store for you!

Five posts in, and this is the first where you're not actually specifically saying you're jumping ship.

Just do it, will you? Nobody cares about what you might or might not do if Canon doesn't build your own perfect personal camera.

Re: The Next 5D on February 27/28, 2012 [CR3]

Well suppose those specs are true. It seems to me that you get most of a 1Dx for half the price. 61 pt AF, a few more megapixels, dual card slots. Sounds like a true pro camera to me, not just prosumer. IMO $3500 is not a bad price at all to start with.

Seems to me that, unless you need high fps or the extra build quality, there's really no need for the 1Dx.

If I were Canon I'd put in 19 point AF to distinguish the product lines more. But I'm not Canon.

20+ pages in less than 24 hours... I smell the awesomeness of Canoners.

Anw, chill the crap out guys! Relax! $3500 is a RUMORED price, RUMORED. Even if it's this price, I'm pretty sure Canon has specs and such to justify it.
Less than a week to go to a long-awaited Canon breakthrough, so hold your horses and we'll see the announcement together with the price tag.

It's not about the money, money, money... :

Did Peter Jackson release "the Hobbit" early, because there are a whole lot of trolls up in here lately.

Did anyone expect the best parts of the 1D series line for the price of a 7D? Really? Everyone was talking about how these specs weren't true because they would decrease 1dx sales... $3500 is exactly where I expected it to launch. Ask any sales person, and if a customer is comfortable at price $Z, then a good sales person wants to sell them $Z + X. There's a splurge factor on things we really really want. This sounds like a more well rounded camera than the mk ii or d800. Niche markets are great, but widespread appeal is often better. By Christmas, it will be $3100.
